Top 5 Uses for a Backyard Pavilion

Now that spring is here and the weather is warming up in Bristol, Pennsylvania, homeowners are reopening their backyard spaces. To enhance your outdoor living space, build a durable pavilion. Having a pavilion from Bristol Sheds adds a touch of elegance to your backyard. These structures make your property more visually appealing and can be used in versatile ways. Below we have detailed some ideas of the uses for a backyard pavilion. 

Outdoor Dining Area

Create an outdoor dining space under your pavilion. Add outdoor tables and chairs to make the dining space, then decorate with rugs, plants, and lighting to make it more inviting. Having an outdoor dining area in your backyard will allow you to host beautiful outdoor dinner parties in the spring and summer. Using a pavilion will create a defined and inviting space to enjoy summer dinners with your friends and family.  It will protect you and your guests from any Pennsylvania weather conditions, especially from the sun’s heat. The closed roof will allow you to use the space even when it is raining. An outdoor dining area is a great addition to any backyard as it connects indoor and outdoor living. Our Closed A-Frame Dormer Pavilions have a skylight in them to let in natural light while you are having dinner.

Firepit 

Prepare for cool summer nights by adding a firepit under your pavilion. It creates a cozy space that adds a warm and inviting ambiance to your backyard.  Having a firepit provides a comfortable environment, making it a great place to relax and roast marshmallows. A firepit in your backyard extends the seasonal use of your pavilion as you can use it in the colder months. You can use the space even in the fall by using the fire to keep you warm.  Make the space more cozy by adding outdoor chairs with blankets around the firepit. Just make sure you use fire-safe materials and have proper ventilation in the pavilion to increase safety. Our Open A-Frame Pavilions provide more airflow and ventilation without letting rain seep in. 

Poolside Sitting Area

If you have a pool and need to get out of the sun and relax while outside, a pavilion is a great way to do so. Put some outdoor seating like chairs, sofas, or daybeds with outdoor-safe cushions to add a relaxing seating area by your pool. This will give the comfort of your living room in an outside space. Here in Bristol, Pennsylvania, we can get harsh warm, humid summers, and having a pavilion will give you the protection you need. The pavilion provides you with a shady spot to relax, get shelter from the heat, and even a place to dry off before you go inside.  Create a lounge area with outdoor furniture and side tables to have a place to talk with friends or read a book by yourself. You could even add a TV under the pavilion to have a fun way to watch movies or sports games in the spring and summer. 

Outdoor Kitchen

A pavilion provides you with a covered space to cook outside. Create an outdoor kitchen underneath your pavilion to have more flexible use of your outdoor space. You can have a grill, mini fridge, and bar in an outdoor kitchen to have a place to cook and make cocktails outside. The pavilion gives you shade from the sun while you’re grilling after a fun day in the pool. Pennsylvania springs can have heavy rainfall, and a pavilion will allow you to cook outside even while it’s raining. Get a large pavilion to have both an outdoor kitchen and dining area to create the ultimate outdoor gathering space.

Hot Tub Cover

A hot tub is a great addition to your backyard, allowing you to relax after a long day. Using a pavilion to cover your hot tub will protect it from weather elements, so you can use it during rain and snow storms. This will make the hot tub usable year-round, you can use it even during the cold winters. The pavilion also provides extra privacy from your neighbors and will make the hot tub easier to clean. It will prevent falling leaves and debris from getting into your hot tub. Our Lean-To Pavilions are great options as hot tub covers, as you can attach them to your house if your hot tub is on your patio, or be a free-standing structure.
